I have just recently started processing these myself in my Jobo processor, using the Tetenal kit. The instructions for rinsing state something like 5 mins at 30-40C, then 7 mins at 25-30C, then 5 mins at 20-25C. The times are from memory, but the principle is that one rinses in progressively cooler water. My question is: what is the impact on the film of simply rinsing the same way as B&W film, i.e. in running water from the faucet, which at this time of year has a temperature of about 16-17C? And is the impact (if any) different for the chromogenic B&W films like Ilford XP2?
